Description
Fused Imidazolium Derivatives
Technical Field

This invention relates to medicaments, particularly
novel fused imidazolium derivatives useful for the
treatment of cancers and novel synthetic intermediate
compounds thereof.

Background of the Invention

As imidazolium derivatives fused with aryl or
heteroaryl ring and having anti-tumor activity, only the
4,9-dioxonaphtho[2,3-d]imidazolium compounds (KP-1, KP-3
and the like) of the following formula have so far been

disclosed in Rhim. Pharm. Zh., 32(6), 10 - 11 (1998).
0 Me 0 it
+
~CI ~ ~ I N~Me
N CI- ~ CI-
0 Me 0 Et (KP-3)

(In the formula, Et and Me respectively represent ethyl and
methyl, the same shall apply hereinafter.)

J. Med. Chem., 7(3), 362 - 364 (1964) discloses a
compound having an antimicrobial action in which R' and R2
are both lower alkyl, or one is -lower alkylene- (an aryl
which may have one or more substituents) and the other is -
CH3, -(CH2) 3CH3 or -phenyl group, or one is -lower alkylene-

CO- (an aryl which may have one or more substituents) and
1


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

the other is -(CH2) 2CH (CH3) 2 or -(CH2) 3CH3r but there is no
disclosure on its anti-tumor activity.

Also, 4,9-dioxonaphtho[2,3-d]imidazolium derivatives
in which R1 and R2 of the general formula (I) of the

present invention, which will be described later, are both
lower alkyl groups are disclosed in J. Org. Chem. USSR, 1,
1479 - 85 (1965), JP-A-3-258765 and JP-A-6-59371 and the
like. However, there is no disclosure on the medicinal use
of these compounds.

British Patent No. 1314881 discloses 1,4-dihydro-1,4-
dioxonaphthalene derivatives useful as a herbicide, and JP-
B-54-25085 discloses isoquinoline-5,8-dione derivatives

useful as a herbicide, respectively. Also, several 1,4-
dihydro-1,4-dioxonaphthalene derivatives are commonly known
by Zh. Org. IQiim., 22(8), 1736 - 42 (1986), J. Gen. Chem.

USSR, 36, 649 - 652 (1966) and reagent catalogs [Sigma
Aldrich Library of Rare Chemicals Structure Index, with
update (Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc.) and the like].
However, all of these documents do not disclose on the
medicinal use of these compounds.

Imidazole derivatives fused with aryl ring are
disclosed in WO 97/30022, J. Med. Chem., 39, 1447 - 1451
(1996) and J. Med. Chem. , 7(3) , 362 - 364 (1964)

Disclosure of the Invention

Creation of an anticancer agent which exhibits
excellent anti-tumor activity and also has low toxicity is
still in great demand.

The present inventors have conducted intensive
studies on anticancer agents having less side effects and
found as a result of the efforts that novel imidazolium
derivatives fused with an aryl or heteroaryl ring,
characterized by being substituted at the 1- andJor 3-

position with substituted alkyl group etc., exhibit
excellent anti-tumor activity and low toxicity, thus they
can be useful as anticancer agents having wide margins of
safety. In addition, by finding a 2-acylamino-3-amino-1,4-
quinone derivative and a fused imidazole derivative useful

as their synthetic intermediates and further finding that
this synthetic intermediate 2-acylamino-3-amino-1,4-quinone
derivative itself also shows low toxicity and excellent
anti-tumor activity, the invention has been accomplished.

That is, the invention relates to a fused imidazolium
derivative represented by the following general formula (I)
and a pharmaceutical composition, particularly an
anticancer agent, which comprises this fused imidazolium
derivative and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

acid (tartaric acid and the like) and then subjected to

optical resolution]. Also, a diastereomer mixture can be
separated by fractional crystallization, chromatography and
the like. In addition, an optically active compound can
also be synthesized by using an appropriate optically
active material.


Industrial Applicability

The compounds (I) and (II) of the invention are
useful as anticancer agents which have excellent cancer
cell growth inhibitory activity, low toxicity and wide

margins of safety. Accordingly, the compounds of the
invention have the inhibitory activity on growth of tumors,
preferably all solid tumors and lymphomas, particularly
skin cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer,
ovary cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer,

pancreas cancer, renal cancer, gastric cancer and the like,
thus they are useful for the treatment thereof.
Particularly, they show excellent anti-tumor activity for
many kinds of tumor types in a cancer cell growth
inhibition test and an in vivo tumor growth inhibition test

using a mouse tumor xenograft model, and the activity is
superior to those of some existing anticancer agents.
Accordingly, they are expected as therapeutic agents for

32


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

tumor types which show resistance against existing
anticancer agents.

Effects of the compounds of the invention were
verified by the following tests.

Test Example 1 Cancer cell growth inhibition test
(Test methods) Cell culture: HeLaS3 cells or A375
cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium
(DMEM) (mfd. by GIBCO) supplemented with 10% FCS.

Compound evaluation: Cervix cancer HeLaS3 cells or
melanoma A375 cells were added to a gelatin-coated 96 well
plate (mfd. by IWAKI) and cultured overnight in DMEM. On
the next day, a DMSO solution of test compound was added
thereto with varied concentrations, while fixing final
concentration of DMSO solution to 0.1%. After incubation

for 48 hours, cell growth was evaluated by color reaction
with Alamar Blue (mfd. by Biosource).

(Results) The compounds (I) and (II) of the
invention satisfactorily inhibited growth of cancer cells,
and their IC50 values were 1 pM or less.

In addition, the compounds (I) and (II) of the
invention showed similarly excellent cell growth inhibitory
activities also for other cancer cells (non-small cell lung
cancer (EKVX, HOP-92, NCI-H358, A-549, NCI-H460), breast
cancer (MDA-MB-231, MCF7), prostate cancer (PC-3), pancreas

cancer (MIA PaCa-2), colon cancer (WiDr), renal cancer (A-
498), gastric cancer (MKN28), bladder cancer (UC-14) and
fibrosarcoma (HT-1080)).

33


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

Test Example 2 In vivo tumor growth inhibition test
(Test methods) Melanoma A375 cells (2 x 106 cells)
were grafted subcutaneously into the frank of male Balb/c
nude mice. When the tumor volume reached 50 to 100 mm3,

the test compound was intravenously administered once a day
for 2 weeks. Also, saline was intravenously administered
to a control group. Tumor diameter was periodically
measured with a vernier caliper until the next day of the
final administration. The tumor volume was calculated by

the following calculation formula.

Tumor volume (mm3) = 1/2 x[a shorter diameter (mm) ] 2 x a
longer diameter (mm)

(Results) In this test, the compounds (I) and (II)
of the invention satisfactorily-inhibited tumor growth,

e.g., the compounds of Examples 4, 37, 118, 121, 148, 154,
180 and 182 showed 50% or more inhibition of tumor growth
compared to the control group at a dose of 0.3 or 1 mg/kg.
The compounds of the invention showed similarly

excellent anti-tumor activity also in an animal model

transplanted with other cancer cells (prostate cancer (PC-
3) or non-small cell lung cancer (NCI-H358, A-549 and NCI-
H460) ) .

Test Example 3 Mouse single administration toxicity test
(Test methods) The compounds of the invention were
administered by single intravenous administration to Balb/C

mice, and the presence of mortal case during the
observation period of 2 weeks was evaluated.

34


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

(Results) Mortal case was not found by 3 mg/kg
single administration of each of the compounds of Examples
4, 9, 35, 37, 52, 72, 121, 133, 148, 154, 158, 180, 182,
184, 185, 186, 192 and 197 of the invention. On the other

hand, all of respective 2 cases died by 3 mg/kg single
administration of KP-1 and KP-3 disclosed in a prior
report, IQiim. Pharm. Zh., 32(6), 10 - 11 (1998). Thus, it
was shown that the compounds of the invention have low
toxicity in comparison with the prior reported compounds.

Accordingly, since the compounds (I) and (II) of the
invention showed excellent anti-tumor activities against
many kinds of tumor types with low toxicity, it was shown
that they are useful as anticancer agents having good

therapeutic profiles.

The pharmaceutical composition of the invention can
be prepared by a generally used method using one or two or
more of the compounds represented by the general formula
(I) or (II) and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (drug

carriers, fillers and the like). Its administration may be
either oral administration by tablets, pills, capsules,
granules, powders, solutions, inhalations and the like, or
parenteral administration by intravenous injection,
intramuscular injection, and the like, suppositories, eye

drops, ophthalmic ointments, percutaneous solutions,
ointments, percutaneous adhesive preparations, transmucosal
solutions, transmucosal adhesive preparations and the like.


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

The solid composition for use in the oral
administration according to the present invention is used
in the form of tablets, powders, granules and the like. In
such a solid composition, one or more active substances are

mixed with at least one inert filler such as lactose,
mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline
cellulose, starch, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, magnesium
aluminate metasilicate and the like. In accordance with
the usual procedures, the composition may contain inert

additives such as lubricants (magnesium stearate and the
like) and disintegrating agents (sodium carboxymethylstarch
and the like) and solubilization assisting agent. If
necessary, tablets or pills may be coated with a sugar or a
gastric or enteric coating agent.

The liquid composition for oral administration
includes pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions,
suspensions, syrups, elixirs and the like and contains a
generally used inert diluent conventionally employed, e.g.,
purified water or ethanol. In addition to the inert

diluent, this composition may further contain an auxiliary
agent such as a solubilizing agent, a moistening agent, a
suspending agent and the like, as well as sweeteners,
flavors, aromatics and preservatives.

The injections for parenteral administration include
a sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solution, a suspension and
an emulsion. Examples of the aqueous solution include
distilled water for injection and saline. Examples of the

36


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

non-aqueous solvent include propylene glycol, polyethylene
glycol, vegetable (oils olive oil and the like), alcohols
(ethanol and the like), polysorbate 80 (trade name) and the
like. Such a composition may further contain a tonicity

agent, a preservative, a moistening agent, an emulsifier, a
dispersing agent, a stabilizer and a solubilization
assisting agent. These compositions are sterilized, e.g.,
by filtration through a bacteria retaining filter, blending
of a germicide or irradiation. Alternatively, they may be

used by firstly making into sterile solid compositions and
then dissolving or suspending them in sterile water or a
sterile solvent for injection use prior to their use.

In the case of oral administration, suitable daily
dose is usually about 0.001 to 50 mg/kg, preferably about
0.01 to 30 mg/kg, and in the case of intravenous

administration, the daily dose is usually about 0.0001 to
10 mg/kg, preferably about 0.001 to 3 mg/kg, and the daily
dose is divided into 1 to several doses per day. The dose
may be appropriately determined for each case, depending on
conditions, age, sex and the like.

material compounds of the compounds of the invention are
shown in Reference Examples.

Reference Example 1: Saturated aqueous ammonia (17
ml) and Raney nickel (3.0 g) were added to a solution of 3-
cyano-2-(dimethylamino)pyridine (2.45 g) in ethanol (50 ml)

and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours
under a hydrogen atmosphere of 1 atmospheric pressure.
After absorption of 760 ml of hydrogen, the catalyst was
removed by filtration. By concentrating the mother liquid,

3-(aminomethyl)-2-(dimethylamino)pyridine (2.61 g) was
obtained as a yellow oil.

Reference Example 2: A few drops of concentrated
sulfuric acid was added to a solution of 2-chloro-3-[(2-
methoxyethyl)amino]-1,4-naphthoquinone (33 g) in acetic

anhydride (100 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 45 C for
1 hour. By adding ethanol (100 ml) to the reaction
solution, excess acetic anhydride was esterified. After
cooling, ethyl acetate was added to the reaction solution
and the mixture was washed with water and brine and then

dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was
evaporated and the residue was crystallized from diethyl
ether to give N-(3-chloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxo-2-
naphthalenyl)-N-(2-methoxyethyl)acetamide (29 g) as a
yellow powder.

Reference Example 3 2-Methoxyethylamine (0.8 ml) was
added to a solution of N-(3-chloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxo-2-
naphthalenyl)acetamide (1.0 g) in benzene (20 ml) and the

38


CA 02395717 2002-06-28

mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Water
was added to the reaction solution and the mixture was
extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed
with water and brine and then dried over anhydrous sodium

sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was
recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give N-[3-(2-
methoxyethyl)amino-l,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxo-2-
naphthalenyl]acetamide (0.87 g) as a red powder.

Reference Example 4: 2-(Aminomethyl)pyrazine (3.2 g)
and diisopropylethylamine (5.8 ml) were added to a solution
of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxonaphthalene (3.0 g) in
benzene (90 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room

temperature for 8 hours. Water was added to the reaction
solution and the resulting precipitate was removed by

filtration and then the filtrate was extracted with ethyl
acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine
and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent
was evaporated and the residue was purified by silica gel
column chromatography (elution with chloroform) to give 2-

chloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxo-3-[(2-
pyrazinylmethyl)amino]naphthalene (0.23 g) as a light brown
